    8am - 10pm - Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed

    Just received my agenda for a Kick Off in the US. I fly out on the weekend.

    According to the agenda, I am then to attend a working session up until 10pm US Time (By my reckoning that's 6am UK time). Then off to bed, starting at 8am until 10pm every day for the rest of the week.

    You have got to be tulipting me.

    That's 50 hours between Sunday & Wednesday after a 12 hour flight! Red bull time!

    On the plus side, that is 8 days worth of billing time.

      I am already asking the guys at my next place if I can contribute to the project in my previous role (in a different team) in order to increase billing time. I need $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

          He's on the bench, he just hasn't told his "wife" yet.

            No as I'm back in the UK. Missed the Jubilee as I was in the US. Not sure if this is a benefit or not. I could do with some time off.

              That's 10 hours a day you're not billing. Slacker.

                I'll probably catch a cold as well, getting caught in the rain.

                    I don't love to work, it's just something I have to do a hell of a lot for the next 1-2 years so that I can relax more further down the line rather than pay the bank ridiculous amounts of interest....
